Lower all MP wages by 25% and put that money into NHS workers wages.
Have the government force all MP’s to take a pay cut of 25%. Use the collective money from this loss of wages to top NHS workers wages by the same percentage. (25%) they deserve it.
Politicians all live fairly comfortable for taking very little risk in the Covid crisis. By cutting your wages and giving it to the NHS staff it would motivate them to work harder, faster and feel appreciated more than empty gestures such as clapping.

The Government e-Petitions Team gave the following reason:
The UK Government and Parliament aren't responsible for setting MPs' pay. The Independent Parliamentary Standards Authority (IPSA) is responsible for deciding on MPs' expenses and pay. IPSA is independent of both Parliament and Government.
